When it comes to writing, get in your bag
There has been so much good writing here on Medium and I still haven’t come close to reading most of it.
And that leads me to wonder what else am I missing?
Oh well. Good thing is if I don’t read it, someone else is. So keep writing.
My only suggestion for writers when it comes to writing is: get in your bag.
Don’t know what “bag” means in this context?
Here’s the definition that fit according to the Urban Dictionary:
Someone in their mood.
Ex. This man is in his bag.
Whatever mood that is. Happy, sad, confused, hurt. Feel it then write it.
I wrote before how author Robert Greene was angry when penning his first book, “48 Laws of Power”.
It’s a New York Times Bestseller. That is what channeled anger can get you. He was in his angry bag.
Sunday nights Super Bowl halftime performance had a roster of artists who were in their bag when creating those hits and performing them.
From Eminem’s rawness, 50 Cent’s fun club jam, Kendrick Lamar’s lyrical expression, Mary J Blige’s demand for peace in her life, to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s smooth west coast flair, they were all in their bag respectively.
